Can we survive the liberal policies of Obama, Pelosi and Reid? We might just find out the hard way:
Poll: 51% of Republicans would rather risk losing elections than win with RINOs
Actually, the path forward is for the far right purists to be replaced in the GOP coalition by the centrists flooding away from the liberal [...]

I don’t need to put a lot of words around these graphs, which clearly illustrates the reaction of America to a government take over of health care:
By 2-1 America wants to keep the current system – ’nuff said. BTW, any Democratg congress-critter on this list with a partisan voter index (PVI) of R+1 or higher [...]

Obama was supposed to be a post partisan leader who could bring the people together. Instead he has been an inexperienced shill for those whacky liberals in DC. And Americans are taking notice. The backlash against the liberal policies being pushed by Obama and Democrats is growing wider and deeper.
But first, a very important [...]

Some good recaps out today on what happened Tuesday and what will likely happen next November. First a good recap from Stuart Rothenberg:
What were some of the mistakes and mischaracterizations during the campaigns and after the voting?
One of the worst, I thought, was the widespread characterization of Dede Scozzafava, the Republican nominee in New York’s [...]

Mad Madam Pelosi rallied, cajoled and threatened enough Democrats (and one republican) to pass the destruction of health care in this nation 220-215. We watched the vote as it happened and it saw our health care and our parents’ health care begin to slip away.
The real bipartisan vote was against the measure with 39 Dems [...]

For all those who thought they were going to get more choice in health care as a result of the liberal nightmare now being proposed in Congress you can forget about it. Here is how it is going to really play out.
The Democrats have created an environment were premiums will go way up, pushing employers [...]

Between the backlash of the independents against the Democrats in Tuesday’s historic elections and the bad news on the unemployment today it is not surprising the Democrat caucus is losing the moderate democrat support for the destruction of our nation’s health care system with a government rationed, costly health care system:
A House leader says Democrats [...]

As I noted yesterday the topic driving the electorate is the unemployment, which shot up dramatically again in October:
The United States economy shed 190,000 jobs in October, and the unemployment rate reached a 26-year high of 10.2 percent, up from 9.8 percent in September, the Department of Labor said Friday in its monthly economic appraisal.
While [...]

NY-23 illustrated an interesting decision path for the GOP. There are two paths available, and the decision on which path to take is up to the far right ‘true’ conservatives who spout such bonding terms as RINO.
If the far right can respectfully align with the centrists, the first path forward was illustrated in VA and [...]

OK, I am a huge Palin fan who is stymied as to what this is all about:
“Virginia, hello, this is Sarah Palin calling to urge you to go to the polls Tuesday and vote to share our principles,” the former Alaska governor says in the call, which was provided to CNN by one Democrat who [...]

This fall’s elections in VA, NJ and NY-23 are turning out to be really bad for the Democrats. In NJ and NY-23 there are two candidates opposing the Democrats, yet the combined anti-Democrat vote is not in doubt. And it is not pretty. This is not a surprising response from the nation’s electorate given the liberal [...]

There is a truly intriguing poll out today in the VA Governor’s race, with some stunning internals when it comes to the African American vote split between the two parties:
The latest SurveyUSA poll showing Virginia Republican gubernatorial nominee Bob McDonnell with a 19% lead over Democrat Creigh Deeds (which would be the biggest win for any [...]

I am sure team Obama and his cronies will think of something to run through the news media (like another Nobel Prize) to try and lift Obama’s sagging support, but I think they are coming to the end of their bag of tricks.
Its still the economy, stupid.
As Ace and Ed Morrissey note, Obama (and more [...]

One thing Americans universally despise is the Political Industrial Complex – those knattering know-it-alls who are the politicians, lobbyists and their media cronies who think God placed them on this Earth to tell the rest of us how to live our lives.
We are fed up with these arrogant know-nothings. We are fed up with the [...]

There is a stunner of a poll out today from Fox News (story here, poll here). It shows some very bad numbers for our young President and the Democrats in Congress. Check out this data (click to enlarge):
With Republicans Obama went from an approve-disapprove differential of -34% (28/62) in early June to a -71% (11/82) [...]
